Hi all, I've been using Schedule::Cron, and it's been working well. My one gripe is that there's no reference to the script (vdcs_errors.pl) that calls the cron job in the process table. In other words, if I grep the process table for the PID of the perl script (i.e. the contents of the variable $$), I get the following, which has no mention of vdcs_errors.pl: 
# ps auwwx | grep 3166
root     31663  0.1  0.0 66376 5600 pts/5    S    02:53   0:00 Schedul
+e::Cron MainLoop - next: Mon Jun 19 15:00:00 2006

I tried using nofork => 1 when defining the cron object, but still the same thing. I also looked at Schedule::Cron::Nofork, and I'm a little leery of what it says, since I may be using this for other jobs: Anybody have ideas? Perhaps it's not hitting me from reading the documentation on cpan.
